The votes in both cases I don't think the voting affected the way you preached or ministered.
I guess my point is, votes come and go - we agree and disagree with the outcomes. But except for the men who were forced out in the 1970's, no one was really affected directly by the votes.
The exception I guess would be those who were dissatisfied all along. Those who felt that the UPC had never done enough to combat "worldliness." Now this vote simply is a catalyst for them to do what they've been meaning to do all along. In which case, they weren't really affected by the vote either - just kind of prodded into action.

The vote of the 70's strengthened a stand already in effect; the one of 2007 weakened a stand already in existance.
